Sir desire to call your attention and that Of
the public to two bills before the State Assembly,
which should not be passed without thorough dis
cnsson in the press, before the people refer to bills
$50 and z03, the apparent object of which is to
con pine In the hands the State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction powers heretofore exercised by
i9ca authority Many objections have been urged before
,ne educational Committee, few OF which only my
iImlted space permits me to gvo 1t Ia proposed TO
grant 10 this official who had hitherto only licensed
sole power to license oil teachers hereafter, AID fur
tnermore to confer upon him the extraordinary power
OF determining what privileges shall be enjoyed by
tme holders OF bis certificates This bill (2U3l also
aioWs the subjects upon which candidates shall be
examined, and standard OF scholarship to be deter
mihed by ono man instead OF being fixed by law; nor
Is there anything TO prevent o much larger per-
centage OF correct answers being required OF cand
dates from one part of the State than from another
mere are many more serious objections hlch lack
go unnotced, ~ the tendency is contrary most
cherished ideas, and Is in every sense undemocratic
An omcial created without responsibility to any
hiBher authority, with al army OF 80 600 teachers

not occupy this Illuminating position except as last

CRIMINAL ACTS.
District Attorney Marines Opinion of the
Charges Against Sage and Gould.

NEW YORK. Dec 30-District Attorney
MARITIME today filed the following memoir
andum in the matter of the charges made
against jay Gould and Russell Sage by
the bond holders Of the Kansas Pacific
railroad: This is an application to present
to the grand jury a charge
of larceny against jay Gould
and Russell Sage under Section 81
OF the penal code. In my opinion the act
with the commission. of which the defend
ants stand charged constitute crime. \
possible obstacle to a successful prosecu-
ton of the persons complained of is the
statute of limitation, yet there are strong
reasons for believing that this obstacle is
not insurmountable. The statute under
which it is sought to prosecute may be so
constructed as to enable the peo-
pie to proceed, notwithstanding
the statute Of limitations, and such
construction would have much support in
reason aud common sense. The question
is so close and the interest involved here as
well of the people as of the defendants are
so important, 1t seems proper to leave the
of this question of law to
the courts, and III order to effect this re
suit. the facts should be laid before the
grand jury and if proven, an Indictment
found and tried
